Tick-tock, tick-tock.

The clock is still ticking and I'm still writing.

Tick-tock, tick-tock.

I barely hear it, and I am on my 20th page now.

I check the clock, it's almost 3 A.M. in the morning.

"I started at 8:30 A.M. yesterday morning, where did the day go?" I ask myself.

"A few more pages, then I'll stop!" I tell myself, but the clock still ticks and my pen is on automatic.

I check the clock again.

Tick-tock, tick tock!

Still ticking!

Now, there is no ink left in my pen.

It's time for me to go to my bed!
